Tanila Marshall Brings Energy and Skill to CAPERS Women's Basketball Team

Welcoming Tanila Marshall to the CAPERS!

We are excited to announce that Tanila Marshall, a versatile small forward/power forward, will be joining the CAPERS Women's Basketball team! Hailing from Chicago, IL, Tanila stands at 5'10" and previously showcased her talents with the State Fair Community College Roadrunners. She will be pursuing a Science degree at Cape Breton University.

Why CBU? Tanila shared her reasons for choosing CBU: "One of the biggest reasons was the coaching staff. The commitment the head coach showed during recruitment meant a lot to me. It demonstrated that he really cares and believes in what I can bring to the team. Another reason was the unique opportunity to play internationally, which is both an exciting and enriching experience for me. Lastly, I appreciate a welcoming gym and a strong support system for sports teams. I feel like Cape Breton University is going to feel like home!"

Looking Ahead to the Season: Tanila is eager to contribute significantly to the CAPERS in the upcoming season, bringing her leadership, hustle, defensive aggressiveness, and scoring prowess to the team. "I love rebounding and getting my teammates involved," she said. "Teamwork is key. Once everyone is on the same page and brings their best strengths to the court, I believe we can go far this season and bring a lot of joy."

Coach Fabian's Take: Coach Fabian is equally enthusiastic about Tanila's addition to the team. "Tanila is a great young lady with a big personality, always positive," Coach Fabian remarked. "She will add depth to our frontcourt. Tanila is a very good athlete who loves to run the floor and rebounds well while also having a strong scoring mentality. As her coach described her, 'she's the team hype person.'We are looking forward to adding her skills and energy to the program. She's definitely going to add to the group this coming season."
